WTF 4 - PQs It's Friday again, so that means I'm doing another one of these! Wishful Thinking Friday time! This time the topic is Party Quests. They're practically dead, like all you can really get from them is a moderate amount of exp - slower than grinding - and since they require other people to do them with they're not as reliable. Also the rewards are totally obsolete. How would you change PQs to make them more interesting? Personally I'd remove the restriction where you can only get 1 level at a time per batch of exp, so PQs can potentially level you multiple times. That's the only way they'd be able to compete with grinding exp-wise. How bout you?
WTF 3 - Classes Something something Wishful Thinking Friday! I almost forgot to do it today, it's been a weird day. Anyway, today's topic is classes! How would you change the class system? What classes would you add, etc. This isn't necessarily about any specific class, I was gonna maybe do one for each later, but more about how classes in this game work in general. I think adding in more bowman classes would be cool, like a longbow class, a ballista class, and/or one of those pipes you blow into to shoot darts out of. What do you think?
5 best 5th jobs My friend and I were talking and she asked what I think the 5 best 5th jobs are. I think she means 5th job as a whole and what 5th job did for the class, rather than just the individual skills, so for me I'd say the best ones are probably: 1. Cannoneer - due to the huge damaging potential and ridiculous amount of lines. 2. Paladin - the hammers are really cool and works consistently, and I love how the first 5th job skill lets you give Sacrosanctity to party members. Also, as a warrior, you're greatly benefitted by Rope Lift. 3. Hero - The sword's great for DPS and Worldreaver gives you iframes while you use it, which can be a lifesaver at hmag and cvel and such. Also Weapon Aura helps with mobs when you have Enrage on. Also
Attendance marks getting deleted? Hey I've been trying to do attendance on multiple worlds per account but the attendance marks keep getting deleted for anyone other than the first character. Like the first characters on my accounts are all at 3 days now but all the other ones only have 1 and can't complete the quest, even though that shouldn't happen since we got 1 free day and I've done 2 days on each of them. Is this happening to anyone else?
Maplehood Watch The Community Manager confirmed that this is, in fact, how the event is supposed to function.
MS Workshop type things tl;dr How would you make the weapon system in ms more interesting? Also should I make this whole periodic/weekly workshop threads thing a regular thing? Heyo there several people. So the Binding of Isaac subreddit had, up until recently, had weekly threads called item workshops. The point was basically just for players to make suggestions on how to improve or alter the items to make them more interesting, without really thinking of balance or whether or not the ideas could/would actually be implemented in the game. As a result, people came up with a lot of off-the-wall ideas and it was a good time. So, since Basil's not especially active, I was thinking a periodic thread topic like that could be fun and maybe get peo
Psa Sylph Crystals vs. Sylph Stones So unlike the previous Sylph ring event, we don't get 1 week where we get stats and 1 week where we get atk/matk. Instead, they give out Sylph Stones or Sylph Crystals. Sylph Stones give +4 to the stat (or whatever the equivalent in hp or allstats is) and +1 atk Sylph Crystals give +4 to the stat (or whatever the equivalent in hp or allstats is) and +1 matk Don't make the mistake of getting the Sylph Stone of Intelligence like I did. I should have checked :(
Calling lvl 150 Jetts So because of the new event in which you need to party with a lvl 150+ Jett occasionally, they're in fairly high demand, but still difficult to find. Let's make a masterpost of sorts for lvl 150+ Jetts so we can find them if we need them :) World: GAZED Jett ign: Renaley Main ign: Tamirelia (Posted in General MS rather than the Jett form because it relates more to an event than to Jetts themselves).

I love when Nexon makes events that dont work The Monster Purge quest glitched out on me. Basically, I accepted it normally but instead of giving me the quest, it just disappeared. It's not in my quest log, killing monsters doesn't give me anything (yes they're in my lvl range), I killed over 300 just to be sure. Thanks for cheating me out of a char slot Nexon.
What to look forward to What are you guys looking forward to in this patch? Nothing seems particularly interesting to me but maybe I missed something, so what are you looking forward to? :)
Psa Maple Id Rewards are limited to your world I thought I could be clever and make a PB on Demethos to accept the rewards on my characters in Galicia so I could get away with not needing to delete my Shade, but it turns out you can only accept rewards on characters that are in the same world as your PB. Oh well.
Patch notes? Is anyone else unable to look at the patch notes? It just gives me a 404 page no matter what I do.

Rip Horntail So Nexon broke HT too. My friend and ally member went once and it told them they were at their daily limit, so I tried alone. I clicked to enter, nothing happened, and now it's telling me I hit my limit.
WTF 2 - 5th Job Yep I'm still doing this! I'm not embarrassed enough to stop yet! It's Wishful Thinking Friday again, the day where I make a thread about an aspect of MS in hopes of people making suggestions to make them more interesting, without necessarily thinking of balance or viability. Today's topic is 5th job! What could be done to make the 5th job system better or more interesting?
